For my first card, I've colored this brand new sweetheart of an image by Elizabeth Bell,  Little Sunkissed Summer Sweetness and paired her with an a sentiment from the also brand new SC Design: Chalkboards 2.

I was so excited work with the new sentiment set, I made an additional card too. I love the fun chalkboard inspiration all of the internet and could not wait to play with this set.  I just  used white embossing powder on black cardstock to get the chalkboard look. Easy, right?!

Lili of the Valley–Coffee Break

Hello there!! I’m so happy you came back!!

I’m still here… jumping for joy!!!

I want to share with you a little project that I made for my guest spot over at Lili of the Valley.

This sweetheart of an image is Coffee Break.

I paired the image with one of the sentiments from the Simply Sophisticated set along with the exquisite papers collection, Timeless Victorian. As you may have noticed, I like purples and lavenders and this collection is full of that!! The patterns in these papers are so lush too!  Using stencils,  embossing paste and glitter, I added some dimension to my project also.

Using my Cameo, I made a coffee pot and filled it with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I also made a chocolate dispenser. Right now it’s holding Ghirardelli chocolates but I think the size could be adjusted to fit the new Lili of the Valley Chocolates!  Now THAT would be so adorable!!  I found the tutorial for the chocolate dispenser on Running with Scissors.

Thank you so very much for visiting today!!
